Baked Brie with a Warm Apple Compote

This is my fancy recipe...I made this as a part of our Christmas dinner of appetizers and dessert. And Jamie thought it couldn't be done...

Brie:
1 (8 ounce) wheel Brie cheese
1 can of crescent rolls

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degree C). Lightly grease a 9 inch pie pan. Create a casing for the brie from the uncooked crescent rolls, making sure that the cheese is entirely coated in the dough. Cook for 15-20 minutes or until the cheese is melted through to the center.

Apple Compote:
3 apples, peeled, cored, and cut into 1/2 inch thick slices
1 cup apple juice
2 Tbs maple syrup or sucanat
1 tsp minced orange zest
1/4 tsp ground cloves
1/4 ground allspice
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
2 tsp minced fresh ginger
1/4 tsp ground pepper
1/4 tsp sea salt

In a large non reactive saucepan, combine all the ingredients and bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer and cook until the liquid reduces to a light syrup, about 15 min.
Set Brie out on a decorative plate and spoon the apples and sauce onto the Brie. Garnish the plate with grapes and/or roasted garlic cloves.
Enjoy!
